iExpense Templates iExpense Templates
iExpense Templates • What is an iExpense template? It is the way iExpense knows how to assign the correct GL codes to your expenses. • When do I use an iExpense template? Everytime you create an expense report. • Do I have to pick an iExpense template for every expense report? No. You can set a default. However, there may be times, such as cross-charging to a special project, when you will need to change the iExpense template. • Can I pick multiple iExpense templates for an expense report? No. One iExpense template per expense report. That is just the way the system works.
